Between the Toes

I can already feel the waves of laziness radiating through my body. What a waste today was. I have been in sweatpants since Thursday night and have not left my house except for school yesterday and a pedicure this morning.

My first pedicure actually turned out to be fantastic! If you haven't ever gotten one, make an appointment ASAP! My mom and sister wanted to go together, so it was a good girls-morning-out activity to take our minds off the awful weather. At first I was scared to go because I didn't want the people to scrape the dead skin off my feet with a razor, and then I was embarrassed because my toes have been so badly calloused from years and years of dance, volleyball, cheerleading, and various other forms of wear-and-tear. When I got to the salon, they had a chair all set up and ready for me to soak my feet. The back of the chair had a massager which felt great, and then the pedicurist massaged my feet and cut my toenails and made them feel nice and smooth. When she drained the foot bath and began to actually paint my toes, I admit I was pretty disappointed that the massage was over. I will definately need to go and get one done more often. All-in-all, it was probably the best $25 I ever spent!

My friend Patricia came over tonight to keep me company.. We mostly talked about college plans, boys, and how much our highschool has gotten out of control. It is so exciting to know that in four months, I will be off to Gannon University! I can't wait to make new friends and start classes. Gannon is four hours from my home, so of course I will miss my family and friends, but it will be nice to be out on my own for awhile! My boyfriend goes to school near Gannon so I know I will never get too lonely. I got a letter in the mail today from the college telling me that they had received my deposit and that I would soon be getting housing and orientation information! It seems like the past twelve years of school have gone by so fast... it's almost unreal that before I know it, I will be graduating from high school, leaving all my friends, and starting a brand new life in a town I am completely unfamiliar with! It's true.. I am scared to start Physical Therapy school and be alone, but I know the next six years of college will fly by.

Danielle has had a long, boring day, and she thinks it is time for bed.

Love to the moon and back.
